    So are there no franchise RBs in this draft, then?

    Who said he was a franchise running back? I havent heard anyone say that. Not all franchise running backs are picked in the first 23 picks either. I think most teams are picking due to needs. I dont think that takes away from what kind of player he is. As mrpaige said, he is still the top running back in the draft and no running back has been picked ahead of him. You can continue your r****ded stance if you like but it is not going to make it any more valid.

    Mickey Spagnola keeps mentioning Julius Jones as the Cowboys "sleeper pick"

    I've heard alot of people on ESPN leading up to the draft saying that he was a francise back, and I've read it on other sites. And I never said that he wasn't the best RB in the draft. I'm just stating by opinion that he was overrated coming into the draft by alot of people who thought he may have been a top 10 pick, and that opinion was justified by him falling to #24.

    I figured he would have been drafted between 12 and 20.

    Overrated as a Top Ten pick? Perhaps. At 22, though? Who knows?

    I guess we'll see what he does in St. Louis.

    so someone thought he was good.

    KJ woulda been a nice change of pace back to go with Rudi's power. But whatevah.

    Actually, now that I think about it, Cincy could have also had Jackson, but instead chose Perry and a 4th rounder. meh. We'll see I guess.

    Jason Babin? Bullsh*t. We could've drafted him at #40. Casserly is a ******* idiot.

    Looked like a lot that they gave up to me.

    The Texans second-rounder and third rounder and they swapped fifth rounders with Tennessee (I believe).
